Chan Ho Park Appears in Camp…Drunk
The Yankees signed Chan Ho Park some time ago, but nothing seemed official until he finally showed up in camp a few days back. Park met with the media to reveal what he had been doing in this time, but unfortunately showed up sloppy drunk."Who wants to fight me?! You?! Huh!!?! I love all of you." Explained Park.When asked where he's been and what he's been doing over the past few days, Park slurred:"You want to ask questions?! There will be trouble to pay! You sir! Pass me the Heineken."When asked...
Lost Opportunity
It was another missed opportunity and one that could bite UConn in the end. It certainly puts more pressure on them to win these next two games. They are squarely on the bubble and losing home games doesn’t help their cause. This loss can be blamed on the turnovers. Louisville were swiping at the ball and UConn was weak in handling the rock. There were plenty of positives to take from the game though, starting with the rebounding. During the last four games, they have done a...Tinker-Evers-Chance
Three position changes, three Hall of Famers and three names as recognizable to Cubs fans today as they were more than 100 years ago.
On September 15, 1902 they took the field together for the first time. Tinker a 21-year-old rookie shortstop, Evers a 20-year-old rookie second baseman, and Chance a 25-year-old first baseman.
The threesome turned its first double play the following game and quickly developed into one of the best infield dynamos in professional baseball for the time.
The three remained teammates through 1912, but are best remembered for a seven-year run from 1903-1909. During this...
Case of the Mondays
Women of the Week: The University of Arkansas Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha. Not letting a little thing like never having seen a black person before (Northwest Arkansas is not the hub of diversity that Im sure Sam Walton envisioned) get in the way of reaching that unreachable star and winning a a step show in Atlanta. Your entire backwoods Arkansas extended family may not talk to you ever again for fear that rhythm may be contagious, but hey, we are here for you. Well done ladies.

Canada 3, USA 2: Canada Narrowly Averts National Humiliation, Wins Gold Medal
Do you believe in dramatic yet predictable outcomes?
Olympic hockey favorites Canada narrowly avoided losing on their home ice in their national sport to their hated rivals, the sixth-seeded Team USA, for the second time in a week, winning the gold medal on Sidney Crosby’s sudden-death overtime strike.
In a tense, well-played, and dramatic game, Team USA battled back from a 2-0 second-period deficit, forcing a 2-2 tie when Zach Parise scored on a rebound with only 24.4 seconds left in regulation.

Surprise, surprise, guess who the favorite is to win the Big 12 Mens Basketball Tournament?
If you said Kansas, you’d be correct.
The Jayhawks had won three straight Big 12 Tournaments before getting upended by Baylor last year, which led to Missouri winning their first ever Big 12 Tournament on their way to a stellar showing in the NCAA Tournament.
This year, Kansas has once again been a wire-to-wire leader in the regular season rankings and will enter next week’s Big 12 tourney as the prohibitive favorite, with Kansas State a clear cut #2, and then a logjam of...You lose a silver.
SEC Mens Basketball Tournament Preview: Bracket, TV Schedule, Tickets & History
Guess who’s back?
After a few down years in Lexington – at least based on their own lofty standards – the Kentucky Wildcats are once again the alpha dogs in the SEC.
With new coach John Calipari adding terrific freshmen John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, and Eric Bledsoe to returning inside stalwart Patrick Patterson, the Wildcats have spent most of the season in the top 5.
Assuming they don’t stumble again between now and the beginning of the SEC Tournament, Kentucky will have the #1 seed in the East (although Vanderbilt currently sits just one game back) and clearly will...New Under Armour Protect This House – I Will
